When they got downstairs, Lu Jiaxin couldn't walk at all, so Miao Na helped her into the car. After returning to the hotel to rest, she immediately asked an old Chinese doctor to give her a massage. After the massage, her whole body felt better, especially her legs, which didn't hurt anymore.

Lu Jiaxin said with some regret: "If I were in Hong Kong City, I could have a full body SPA."

Now she can’t even think about going to the mainland anymore, she can only wait a few years. But then again, after ten years or so, she probably won’t go back to climb the mountain anymore.

After two days of rest, Lu Jiaxin visited Laoshan, Penglai Pavilion and the Zhanqiao Bridge. As for the hometown of Confucius, she did not go there. Although many Chinese people respect Confucian culture, she does not like it. Confucianism emphasizes the difference between men and women, explains that the family is the basic unit of society, and respects men to be responsible for the outside world and women to be responsible for the inside world. This concept has led to the phenomenon of male superiority and female inferiority to a certain extent. Of course, male superiority and female inferiority cannot be blamed on Confucian culture, but as one of the victims, it is still very repulsive.

At the end of the month, Lu Jiaxin went to Sijiu City to visit Gu Xiuxiu. Her condition was a little more serious than before. In the past, she was more awake and less confused, but now it was the other way around. Fortunately, Mei Gu and Hong Gu took good care of her. She was a little fatter than when she was in Hongcheng.

Gu Xiuxiu glanced at Lu Jiaxin, showing no interest, and lowered her head to continue playing her guqin.

Aunt Mei whispered, "Miss cousin, let's go out!"

When they got outside, Lu Jiaxin asked, "Didn't you say on the phone that the condition hadn't worsened? I see it's completely different from before."

Aunt Mei sighed and said, "My cousin, the old lady's memory has been declining. What she remembered today was when she was a girl in the Gu family."

At this moment, her memory returned to her carefree teenage years. Alas, Lu Jiaxin felt a little sad. Why do people get sick, and why do they get such incurable diseases?

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Do you want to take your aunt back to Hong Kong?"

Aunt Mei shook her head and said, "The old lady likes this place very much. In the winter, she can't go out, so she will invite people to tell stories and sing operas. Especially the storytelling, the old lady likes it very much. Once, she even gave the pearl necklace she was wearing to Mr. Li."

The jewelry the old lady is wearing now was all purchased in the past two years. 1 Lu Jiaxin said: "In Hong Kong City, you can also invite people to perform or tell stories at home."

Mei Gu refused on behalf of Gu Xiuxiu. Operas and storytelling in Hong Kong were not that interesting, and the fees were high, so it was not worth it.

Seeing that she was unwilling, Lu Jiaxin did not force her anymore, and only reminded her that if Gu Xiuxiu went out, she must be accompanied by three people. If she got lost, it would be a small matter to find her, but she would be afraid of danger.

"good."

The next morning, Lu Jiaxin called Su Hongying and saw her at home. Seeing that Su Hongying looked much better than the last time she came, she felt relieved.

Su Hongying looked at it carefully for a while, then said with a smile: "What delicious food did you eat, girl? How come you look prettier every year?"

The first time I came to visit, I looked very bad and sick, just like her. But when I went to Hong Kong and came back, I found myself getting prettier and prettier, and now I have fully grown up.

Lu Jiaxin touched her face and said with a smile: "If you eat fish maw and bird's nest supplements in rotation every day, it will be hard not to look good."

Su Hongying nodded and said, "I have also been eating bird's nest and fish maw for the past two years. My health is indeed better than before, but the price is too expensive."

If He Yuan and He Ming hadn’t bought it and sent it to me, I wouldn’t have been able to afford it with my husband’s salary.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "You brought them up, hired people to teach them a lot of knowledge, and protected them until they grew up safely. Now that they are making money, they should be filial to you."

Lu Jiaxin did not hide it from her and said, "I want to climb all the Five Great Mountains. Now I have climbed Mount Hua and Mount Tai. I want to climb the remaining three mountains during my college years."

Su Hongying said with some envy: "Jia Xin, you were born in a good era."

She was in the worst era, but fortunately she survived. She used to be a coward, being very careful about everything she did outside and at home, but now she can stand up straight, and her husband's family dare not bully her anymore.

Lu Jiaxin stayed at Xie's house for lunch before leaving. Xie Kaixiao did not return to Sijiu City on his business trip, and this time when he left Xie's house, he felt relaxed.

After leaving Xie's house, Lu Jiaxin went to Qianmen Street. Now you don't need to make an appointment to go to the square, you can go and see it at will.

Standing under the five-star red flag, looking up at the red flag fluttering in the wind, Lu Jiaxin smiled. She remembered that she also stood here when she was ten years old, wearing a school uniform and a red scarf, and saluted solemnly.

Because she was in a hurry, Lu Jiaxin only stayed in the square for half an hour before going back. She did not go into the Palace Museum. As for the museum, it is not open to the public yet.

When I got home, He Bin was already there.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to come at 2:30? It's only 2 o'clock now."

He Bin was worried that Lu Jiaxin would leave for some reason, so he came here early. He smiled and said that he had nothing to do today, then took out a square thing wrapped in silk from his package and handed it to Lu Jiaxin.

Gu Wenfeng walked over to take the item, and after removing the silk, he found it was a book. The book was a little damaged, and was written in traditional Chinese characters.

Lu Jiaxin took it and looked at it, then said with a smile: "Whatever is written in this book, I'm worried that it will be broken if I open it."

He Bin explained: "Boss, I spent a lot of money to buy this book. It records many ancient palace maintenance recipes."

Lu Jiaxin was interested as soon as she heard it. She carefully opened the book and read it, but because it was all in traditional Chinese characters, she had to guess. However, after reading one page, she guessed that it should be a recipe for beauty and skin care.

He Bin said, "Boss, the front part is a recipe for beauty and skin care, and the back part is for making perfumes and spices. I asked someone to try it, and it is indeed a good thing, but the cost is very high and the shelf life is short."

Lu Jiaxin's heart was burning with excitement. The high cost was because the quantity was small. If the quantity was increased, the cost would be reduced. As long as the problem of short shelf life was overcome and alternative medicinal materials were found, it was guaranteed to make a fortune. In fact, our ancestors left behind many precious things, but unfortunately many of them were lost in the torrent of history.

He Bin was not surprised to see her happy expression. When he heard that it was a beauty recipe, his first reaction was that he could open a cosmetics factory and make perfumes. The boss must have thought so too.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "They are all in traditional Chinese. Find someone you trust to translate these ancient prescriptions into simplified Chinese."

"Okay boss."
